How do I password protect folders in " my documents "..........thanks

I dont think you can.

I think the best you can do is right-click on the folder and put a check in the Hidden box at the bottom.
When you click on My Documents click on Tools>View and select "Do not show Hidden folders."
If you use different User accounts with your own passwords though you can right click on the folder> sharing and security and tick the box for "make this folder private"

A very smart piece of software creates a folder that can be locked.
Also locks drives.

I was very impressed as I thought it was freeware but I am afraid it gives 20 uses then costs $28.
